We went back to my mom's place during Hari Raya holiday which was a month ago. Mom harvested lots of pumpkins from her veges patch, my sis took two and mom insisted that I should bring back all her stock since there were few more maturing in no times. We came back with one large and three medium size pumpkin, total weight was about 10 kgs!

It was a pumpkin month for us with lots of pumpkin dishes such as pumpkin salad, mom's style pumpkin, pumpkin cake, and tempura. I made the last pumpkin into huge pot of pumpkin soup and keeping some in the freezer for future use. For these buns, I used pre-prepared pumpkin soup instead of mashed pumpkin. They were golden in colour, soft and with a hint of pumpkin.

The main differences between mashed pumpkin and pumpkin soup are extra ingredients and spices used in the soup such as onion, garlic and pepper. When cooking soup onion and pumpkin were sauteed, caramelised onion and pumpkin enhanced the aroma of soup.
